Stars in the Bright Sky - Donna's Filigree Ornaments

Hi all,

This month is going so fast it scares me to know Christmas is literally only weeks away..

I love the papers and goodies I received from Aunty Vera this December and I adored the Filigree Nativity Ornament die from Cottage Cutz.

I had in mind from the start what I was going to create with this die but as always the mind does its own thing and off it goes down a different track lol..

To start with I die cut the top layer then cut 4 from white cardstock..

With the top die cuts I inked them with Versamark Ink .

I did 2 coats of the White Satin Pearl Embossing Powder to give it a beautiful shiny look..

With the patterned tops I coated them in 2 layers of clear embossing powder..

The six together, do you see the gloss of the embossing powders.

I adhered 4 of the white die cuts together and then the top gloss die cut..

I was pretty much going to leave it as that with ribbon and flowers but it just didn't look right so I looked at the paper and yep I traced around the ornament and cut it out..

After adhering it together, I punched a hole in the handle to tie a ribbon on it and sprayed some glitter over the whole thing to give it some 'sparkle'. I then placed two bling to finish it off..

I love these pearl brads that I have had for a long time but only had silver which is ok for the silver poinsettias but for the gold not so good..

Out comes a copic marker and I now have a gold brad..

The finished Filigree ornaments for my little tree..

The poinsettia die is from DooHicky..

My favourite one, I love this for some reason..

I love love these stars from the master of creation Tim Holtz and decided to use this for the top of my little tree.. I am going to be cutting out more to place throughout the tree so keep your eye out..
